FC Porto=AVS (probable lineups): William Gomes starts directly.

The league bids farewell to the year 2025 this Sunday with a clash of extremes, as league leaders FC Porto host bottom-placed AVS, with the possibility of increasing their lead over Benfica to ten points. Maisfutebol will be at the Estádio do Dragão to tell you all about this match of the 16th round , which is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 pm.

A matchday that, for now, is marked by Benfica’s draw in Braga (2-2) , which further delays José Mourinho’s team in the title race. A victory for Francesco Farioli’s team could increase their lead over their rivals to ten points, even before the first half of the season is over.

FC Porto, still undefeated, will thus seek their eighth consecutive league victory, and Farioli warned that there can be no “relaxation” at this final stretch of the year. In that sense, the Italian coach is expected to field his best eleven, but will have to find a solution for Borja Sainz’s position, who will be serving a one-match suspension. This presents an opportunity for William Gomes to return to the starting eleven or, alternatively, Rodrigo Mora, in which case he would adapt to playing on the left wing.

On the other hand, AVS, still without a win, gained new momentum with the arrival of new coach João Henriques who, in his debut, secured a draw against Nacional (2-2). Rúben Semedo was sent off in the last round and should now be replaced by Aderlan Santos.

With the Estádio do Dragão sold out, the game, which will be officiated by Bruno Pires, is scheduled to start at 8:15 pm this Sunday.
